Title: Any of you guys the high bidder here?
Post by: horseboy on March 19, 2007, 02:01:59 pm: I saw this Krull poster on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Arcade-Game-Poster-KRULL-Never-Displayed_W0QQitemZ320093093735QQcategoryZ13717QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) the other day, and I got pretty excited over it.

This poster is the exact same as the Krull side art. I figured I could buy it for 15 or 20 bucks. This poster was the only way I could feasibly see getting some good repros done for Krull side art. The side art on mine is a little bit to mucked for a repro worthy scan.

Now the bidding on this thing is up to $50 with 2 days left. WTF?! So, I was hoping somebody here was in on this bidding war, because then maybe it could still be scanned for some repros.

I bought a Xenophobe stick from him at a great price (I needed it for an engineering project and couldn't wait). He really saved my bacon as I was having trouble getting decent parts with my budget.
